Odd Ways to Find Us Through a Search Engine

By Trevor | May 12, 2007

I am always amazed when I browse through the statistics package for Epigenetics News and see the long list of keyphrases that were used to reach the site. There’s always the obvious ones, like “epigenetics” and “what is epigenetics”, but there’s also plenty of unusual ones that I can hardly remember ever writing. I figured it might be fun to share some of the weird search phrases that people have used to find this blog:

weird pictures - This search term came up from the blog post “Those Weird Pictures in the Sidebar.” I can only assume that people looking for “weird pictures” are going to be disappointed when they come to this site. Ironically, the aforementioned pictures in the sidebar have since been removed, largely because I have a hard time doing leisure reading when course textbooks are higher on the priority list.

ways to save panda - As most people know, this blog does not focus on conservation of any species, so saving the panda isn’t really our forte either. I’m assuming that “ways to save” came up from the half-jokingly made post from March 2007, “10 Best Ways to Save Time at the Lab Bench.”

fat as - I wonder if someone was searching for something else and had a typo. This search returns the post, “Liposuctioned Fat as a Source of Stem Cells.”

college students assays about why they want to work with children - So if you’re going to pass off someone else’s essay as your own, wouldn’t it be better to spell “essay” correctly? I suppose this is a good illustration of why this person doesn’t want their own writing to be judged. This search result points to “Scientists in Training: The Experience Dilemma.”

is trevor s disease passed genetically - In fact, yes, it is.
